[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say that I am encouraged by the relatively short lists for the TAG elementary schools though.[/quote]

I don't know, 200 on the waitlist for 2nd at Glenarden Woods doesn't seem encouraging to me. [/quote]

That sucks.  I just glanced at our TAG magnet school and there were less than 45 applicants for the 2nd grade.  Not sure how many kids per grade in the TAG program though.  Greenbelt Middle School also didn't look terrible.

Glen Arden Woods and Heather Hills now are TAG only schools.  I *think* they have 4 TAG classes at each grade.

the other schools I believe have just 1 TAG class per grade.  At least Capitol Heights and Highland Park do.

The district added a few more TAG spaces last year when they changed Glenarden Woods and Heather Hills to be all-TAG schools, but they also need to create a tiered system of TAG identification so students who are best served in TAG center schools can have placement there, and those whose needs can be met with TRC (TAG in the regular classroom)  can have their services at their base school.   The system now makes no sense.[/quote]

+1 Totally agree. DC had basically no cohort at the local school and missed out in the lottery for the TAG center. A tiered system would make more sense to me as I think that is how they do the HGC placement for MoCo.[/quote]
